I think the Manziel family has faced much greater odds scraping out a life in Texas than what you think the internet bullying aspects in the Deadspin article happen to be. In fact, based on the way the Manziels go about doing things as described in the article (most events seem to come from public records searches not done by a Finebaum), my guess is that there has never been a single Manziel to ever claim that they’ve been bullied. It’s not in their makeup and they seem to do a pretty good job of standing up for themselves whether right, wrong or indifferent. Maybe if a Manziel has a beef about something being wrong in the article, they’ll say it’s wrong, not that they’re being bullied by Deadspin. Maybe we’ll hear about it soon or read it on Johnny’s twitter.

Wow, that is some story, regardless of the source. So a kid named Esahiah arrives in the US and is renamed Bobby Joe, then we go to cockfighting, oil wildcatting, Louisiana justice, exploitation of Negroes, Texas Rangers, quick money scams, etc., etc. I am not giving Johnny Moron a pass because of genetics but I wouldn’t waste money on a DNA test to see if he really comes from this family. They have to be very proud of Li’l Johnny…..so much so that they still have a garage full of memorabilia for him to sign. Time to cut the cord A&M, this story isn’t going to get better.

There you are great one! Mac you are correct. What a great movie this would make. Sins of the Fathers, greed , pride all the makings of a LA-Texas saga. That acorn does not fall far from that tree. Johnny you are scum.

Interesting story, but other than that it doesn’t really have much to do with Johnny & his parents … that’s not to say he’s innocent of possible NCAA violations, but this has nothing to do with the other

Having been to a few DAC shows years ago, I dont think there is a chance in hell he hasn’t played several tunes in front of every single living Manziel since the time he was released from prison (thanks to John Cash and about the time Rodriquez stole that goat.) Fact is, David probably had an entry in those cockfights.

“He added “it would be a real tragedy” if college football didn’t see Manziel play…”

(a) another down in his career for the enjoyment of CFB fans everywhere
(b) another game in College Station to cement his legacy as more than a one hit wonder
(c) one more year in the SEC to validate his Heisman season
(d) in the Alabama-Texas A&M game on Sept. 14.

If you guessed “d,” you’re hip to ESPN memes! Good Lord their agendas are sickening.

Great JLB reference – reading that story I half expected to see where he was tied in with DiDi Giancano and eventually got his ticket punched by Clete Purcell…

Bloviation for the Dawgnation

Quote Of The Day

“It brings back a great Bulldog running back in Thomas who has NFL playing experience and has had success as a college coach at multiple schools. He also inherits a position that has been built to an elite level by Bryan. And it gives Bryan the opportunity to return to coaching the position he played and the one where he cut his teeth serving as a graduate assistant under wide receiver coach John Eason here at UGA. It also provides him with a new experience as a passing game coordinator.” -- Mark Richt, AB-H, 2/16/15
